Chapter 1089: The Concession Issue
The Northwest has money, as early as 1911, the Northwest has the ability to unify China, 3 divisions of the army, enough to defeat Beiyang, the revolutionary party of that year, there is not much strength at all, after defeating Beiyang, to solve the South, it is almost a logical thing, but at that time Yang Yuanzhao did not hold down and did not move, for no other reason, the Northwest was not famous enough, and the preparation was not enough, from the beginning of the Northwest Industrial Era, the Northwest has been running at full capacity, huge human resources, so that the industrialization of the Northwest continues to develop, However, on the premise of ensuring welfare, the investment is huge, which ensures the steady development of the northwest and cultivates such a huge market in the northwest.
But at that time, if the whole country was included in it, almost half of the personnel and more than twice the land, only 3 years of development, under the joint promotion of Yang Yuanzhao such a traverser and an all-in-one machine, this was the successful development of the northwest, there was no excess ability, plus a war is imminent, in order not to lose this best opportunity, the northwest chose forbearance, it turns out that this forbearance is the best, 3 years of time, not only pushed the strength of the northwest to a higher level, It also allows the Northwest to receive the whole of China more calmly.
A large amount of funds, following the footsteps of the Northwest Bank, more than 3 years of training a huge number of government staff, replaced the original government, under the premise of doubling the control area, all the acceptance areas, there is no fluctuation, almost seamless grafting of the Northwest welfare, in addition to industry and some education, it also takes time to popularize, there are not many other problems, ordinary people get benefits, landlords and wealthy businessmen, under the premise that the Northwest Buddha is pressed on the premise, it is difficult to toss. Neither the confusion nor the problems with the handover have arisen, and the country has been substantially unified.
In the future, the capital of China, Baotou is the undisputed choice of Baotou, compared with Nanjing, Beijing, these cities. His history is a little worse, it has never been a central city, let alone a capital, not even the capital, but the strategic significance of Baotou in the northwest is huge, Baotou Special Economic Zone, is the most economically developed in the northwest, a special zone with the highest industrial output value, his development level. Even in the developed urban agglomerations of the West, with the concentration of funds and the use of a large number of motor vehicles, the appearance of later generations is even more obvious.
After rational planning and construction, Baotou already has the necessary conditions to become the capital, and what needs to be done now is to turn it into a real political and cultural center. The large-scale buildings and government facilities in the Northwest do not need to be changed now. At most, just add some institutions. This is not a problem at all for Baotou, which has mastered a huge construction capacity, and it is expected that a large number of projects will be completed after a maximum of half a year, and then it will be a piecemeal effort, which is an ordinary big city into the capital. It takes time.
The question of the capital, there are not many twists and turns, and the next more important question is the question of the form of government under the state, the structure of the Northwest before that. It is more suitable in the northwest, but China is too large, even if China now has a railway network that cannot be compared with the future market, whether to choose a provincial-level plan, with a single province as the core, or a core city with a regional plan, combining several provinces, these two schemes, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
After liberation, there was also a period of time when the region was implemented, and after weighing, all the Standing Committee members and experts in the northwest felt that it was slightly better in the form of a region after careful consideration and careful calculation. When the world itself was divided into three parts, a relatively fixed area was formed, and then it was divided in the middle, dividing the future China into several large parts.
Northwest China is a whole according to the regional relationship, which is divided into Mongolia (including Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, which is also the largest area in the future, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia combined, almost 3 million square kilometers), border areas (Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, and Tibet in the future), western regions (Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan), North China (Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong), Northeast China, three northeast provinces, Central China (Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui), East China, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and southern regions, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, South China, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan.
Each region, including two or three provinces, no more than five provinces, each region includes a central city, the status of the central city is equivalent to the municipality directly under the central government in later generations, but in all aspects it is more important, to play a leading role in driving the whole region, the future of China's support for these core cities will also be quite large, just like the development of Baotou in the past, and strive to make these regions change greatly in three or five years.
The core city of Mongolia was designated as Kulen, which was once the capital of Outer Mongolia, 5 years ago, it was just a very inconspicuous small city, and later after the liberation of Kulen in the northwest, the focus of the army shifted to this place, and then when the Baotou Special Economic Zone transferred production capacity outward, a large number of heavy industry factories were stationed, so that Kulen became a real mining city, under the excellent performance of the all-in-one machine, basically Mongolia's minerals are explored, gold is the largest discovery, and the whole Mongolia has gold reserves of more than 10,000 tonsIf the annual mining volume of about 50 tons is maintained, it is enough to support 200 years of mining, which is a and objective wealth. In addition, all kinds of iron ore, non-ferrous metals, and even rare earths, are available in Mongolia, which is an unopened virgin land, in the future because of poverty and transportation problems, sitting on a huge mineral resources, but living a poor life, now, under the premise of convenient transportation, minerals are equal to wealth.
Yang Yuanzhao has been peeking into Siberia, Mongolia is not only the future heavy industry base, but also a large military region, from last year to this year in Mongolia began the railway project, there are as many as 7, the future railway density is the highest in China, as long as the war starts, at least 1 million troops, will cross the border between Mongolia and Russia, directly to the Trans-Siberian Railway, when it is cut off by the waist, the northwest can be in the northeast and Mongolia, especially Mongolia, the northeast, after all, is not the northwest, Although railways were built, they were connected to large and medium-sized cities, mainly for passengers and freight, and military use was no longer considered.
Next, Yinchuan, Xi'an, Beijing, Shenyang, Wuhan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, these central cities have been determined, in addition to their own foundation, the huge financial support of the northwest, will make them like Baotou, reborn in a short period of time, in an in-depth study, these cities will have different characteristics and focus, Yinchuan because of its proximity to Central Asia, is an emerging cotton-producing area, will be dominated by cotton textile and light industry, and Beijing, Wuhan, Shenyang, Shanghai, Guangzhou, a city with a strong foundation, will aim at higher-end industries, even weapons manufacturing.
After the agenda of one item is gradually discussed, the capital and the central city are determined, the next is the national flag, the national emblem and the national anthem, the national flag is set as a yellow star pattern on a red background, not a five-star red flag, but a 10-star red flag, temporarily divided by a region, Baotou as the capital counts as one, and then there are 9 regions, temporarily 10 stars, above the national flag, there is also a position, when the new region joins in the future, it will be re-determined.
In Yang Yuanzhao's heart, there are several, such as the Indochina Peninsula, Southeast Asia, the future of Siberia, as little as three, as many as five, or even more, China already has a strong foundation, but also needs more living space, not in a billion people, crammed into a narrow range, land and grain have always become a major issue restricting China's development, the red line of cultivated land is a major matter hanging in the hearts of managers, even if the barren land, can not be left behind. It is also necessary to control the population, otherwise the population will not be able to feed so many people under the population skyrocket, and as far as China is concerned, there is still this problem, and when it expands to the south and north, these are completely non-existent.
The national anthem Yang Yuanzhao wants to settle down the March of the Volunteers, but unfortunately the March of the Volunteers has not yet been published, if Yang Yuanzhao plagiarizes, it is not impossible, but the lyrics have no resonance for the current Northwest, the road to the rise of the Northwest is relatively smooth, there are not many difficult wars and sufferings, plus the relationship between folk customs, in the end, it is to choose a song with an obvious Chinese style, the Chinese splendid China, the use of China's unique musical instruments, embodies the national anthem of the style of a great country, and has been unanimously recognized. The national emblem was chosen as the most familiar to Yang Yuanzhao, and the appearance of the national emblem in later generations was not changed.
The political system, the party, the organizational structure, and even the national flag and national anthem and national emblem, these are the problems that need to be solved urgently in the founding ceremony, when these problems are solved one by one, in the end, this raises the most important problem, that is, the problem of the concession, Yang Yuanzhao and the military high-level, think that the concession is a problem that must be solved, and advocate taking it all back, but some of the Standing Committee members still have concerns in their hearts, whether to stand on the opposite side of the powers, whether it is good or not, in case of war, Or is it some other diplomatic contradiction, what should I do?
No case, in the end, Yang Yuanzhao still passed this strongly, as long as the founding ceremony is held, all unequal treaties will be abolished, the new China will not recognize any Qing Dynasty treaties, and at the same time abolish all kinds of colonies, concessions, and the first thing is to take back Hong Kong, a tough posture, Yang Yuanzhao's influence and the strength of China now, finally let all this pass, China began to make a voice to the world, and on August 8, 1914, the founding ceremony will be held.
It is also the unification of a country, and the rise of a powerful industrial country, many Europeans, even compared the founding ceremony of China with the founding of Germany, in the Franco-Prussian War, after defeating France, Germany was proclaimed, and has always become the fastest growing country in the world.
